Her phone held three fresh rejections and one old fear: “Maybe my future is already written.”
At home, she noticed her father polishing a framed copy of the Constitution of India.
he said, tapping the glass,
“This is how a nation decides what it will stand for, especially when life gets messy.”
Ramya blurted, “But nations have systems. People don’t.”
He looked at her gently. “Then build one.”
That night, she opened a notebook and wrote: MY PERSONAL CONSTITUTION.
My Dreams and goals:
Work I love to do. A steady mind. A life I don’t escape from.
My Core values:
Courage, honesty, compassion, discipline.
-Means ???
- Two focused Practical applications daily. One skill upgrades monthly -
Sleep by 11. Move my body. Ask for help before I break.
Then she paused at the last heading: Moral Boosters.
Her inner critic arrived on time: “What if you fail again?”
Ramya wrote back, as if drafting a law:
Failure is information, not identity, that defines me.
I return, I do restart.
Small steps still count.
At the bottom, she penned:
“You are the creator of your own destiny.” — Swami Vivekananda
The next morning, nothing outside had changed; the same streets, the same uncertainty. But inside, something had: her future no longer felt like a verdict. It felt like a direction.
Morals:
You have the power to shape your future by establishing your own framework. A Personal Constitution transforms fleeting hopes into steadfast habits and core values into meaningful choices. When motivation wanes, it is your principles that will guide you back to your path.
Questions to Contemplate:
What specific steps can Ramya take to implement her Personal Constitution in her daily life?
How will Ramya's relationship with her father evolve as she pursues her goals and values?
What challenges can Ramya encounter that might test her new principles and resolve?
